Deleuze combines the essential elements of the three previous thinkers to make an improved politics of immanence, which is to a certain extent more perspicuous, by virtue of being consistent and systematic, specifically with its penetrating account of interiority. Certainly, Deleuze overcomes a number of remaining ambiguities, in particular through addressing an affective and ethical issue evident in Foucault – by turning to schizoanalysis and the incorporation of desire as will to power – pushing the politics of immanence to its ultimate. This argument contends with the misleading but no less prominent view that Deleuzian desire is a pre-symbolic libidinal flux, an asocial essentialist category of idealism and bourgeois ethics. It is argued that Deleuzian desire is both instigated by and utilises the ontogenetic conceptual schema of Deleuze’s metaphysics (transcendental empiricism) – as derived from an engagement with Sartre, Merleau-Ponty and Foucualt – in which thought and desire are construed as immanent to the real that provokes them, such that they can only have a productive nature.

Almost every major world religion and tribal spiritualities light plant parts in worship to seek greater connection to the divine. Incense is defined as a material that is burned to produce an odour which is also referred to as the perfume itself that is produced from the burning of plant. Many people light incense sticks in their homes just for the sweet smell and the ability it has to transform space. Others too in our world today may have a stigma connecting incense sticks and illegal drug use. Many of us who have been Catholics may have witnessed the swinging of censers, filling the Church with sweet-smelling resins. The tradition of using incense in the liturgy goes back to ancient Hebrew worship, as recorded in the Psalms: “Let my prayer be set forth in Thy sight as the incense” (Ps 141:2). Incense as often used as part of a purification ritual seems to have lost its symbolisms and proper use of it in the Church as well as the decline of its use. The real problem here is that many faithful hardly know the real reason and purpose why incense is an important part of the Catholic Mass. Do people fully understand the use and symbolism of incense during the liturgical celebrations? Do the traditional use of incense offers some opportunities or challenges in the Church liturgical rites? The purpose of this study is to investigate, stimulate and sensitize the Church and all the Christian faithful of the symbolism of incense which have become optional or none use and to take effective action in reclaiming the lost symbolism and proper use of incense. Perhaps a better understanding of the traditional use of incense may help or enhance the use and importance of the symbolism of incense in our liturgical celebrations. Maybe some elements found in the traditional use of incense, the Sacred Scripture and the Church’s practice may enrich and recover the lost symbolism of incense. And may be by organizing Liturgical Seminars/workshops to seminarians and young religious in formation houses it may address the essential elements in the way incense is use.

AbstractThe current population forecasts bode ill for “the” real estate market in Germany: The regionally differing decreases in population will affect both the office and residential real estate market, however, not to the same extent. A reduction of property values with impacts on the economic activity and growth may follow. Due to potentially more restrictive technical requirements in order to slow down climate change investment losses in the real estate business could even be increased if no stronger international demand for property on the German real estate market can be generated through a higher level of transparency. An improved family policy, more incentives for internationals to migrate to Germany (which is where universities could play a significant role) as well as programs for the maintenance of existing facilities and their energy-efficient upgrading could be essential elements within a strategy for real estates.

This chapter introduces the proposed theoretical toolbox this book intends to use for the studying of democracy in Europe. The idea is that the analytical concepts created by this toolbox will prove useful for understanding the various aspects of democratic politics seen throughout Europe. The fundamental philosophy of this book is the idea that to understand democratic governance, in particular in Europe, there needs to be a model. The goal isn’t to include every single possible detail of what is observed in the real world. Rather, it is to consider the essential elements for understanding democratic politics and to use those to highlight the various nuances found in the real world. A model is a comparative and analytical tool, rather than a method of example.

Islamic Party

This article discusses Masyumi’s response towards pluralism, particularly about the political diversity in the first fifteen years of Indonesia independent era. As the largest Islamic party in Indonesian history, Masyumi was well known by many as the champion of democracy and one of the essential elements in the nationalist movement. However, regarding pluralism, for some, Masyumi positive attitude on this matter has been doubtful, regarding this party as the guru of intolerance for some contemporary Islamic organisations. By exploring the ideals and practical aspects of this party, this article wants to show the nature of Masyumi’s view and attitude in answering political diversity that in the long run indicates the real position of this party in pluralism in politics. The discussion indicates that despite some weaknesses in undergoing the spirit of honouring diversity, in particular when dealing with the communists, Masyumi, in general, had proven its position as one of the essential elements in Indonesian political history that in many ways eager to develop and maintain the spirit of pluralism.[Tulisan ini mendiskusikan perihal respons Masyumi terhadap pluralisme, khususnya terkait dengan politik keragaman dalam rentang limabelas tahun setelah Indonesia merdeka. Sebagai partai Islam terbesar dalam sejarah Indonesia, Masyumi dikenal luas sebagai terdepan dalam praktik demokrasi dan pemain penting dalam gerakan nasionalisme. Meskipun demikian, bagi sebagian orang, respons positif Masyumi terhadap isu pluralisme tetap diragukan mengingat partai ini dianggap sebagai model intoleransi bagi organisasi Islam dewasa ini. Tulisan ini ingin menunjukkan bahwa pandangan dan sikap Masyumi dalam menjawab keragaman politik mengindikasikan posisinya yang jelas dalam pluralisme politik. Walaupun ada dukungan lemah terhadap semangat keragaman, khususnya terkait dengan kelompok komunis, secara umum Masyumi membuktikan dirinya sebagai elemen penting dalam sejarah politik Indonesia dengan berbagai cara dalam membangun dan mempertahankan semangat pluralisme. ]

En la obra novelística y ensayística de Juan Benet se puede detectar numerosas intertextualidades del filósofo alemán Friedrich Nietzsche que no han sido todavía adecuadamente investigadas. Entre los temas nietzscheanos que penetran la obra de Benet, los más importantes son la defensa del irracionalismo como vía de conocimiento que ayuda a explicar mejor la naturaleza de lo real, la oposición a sistemas epistemológicos cerrados, la defensa del fragmentarismo, del nihilismo, del fatalismo, el sentido de lo trágico que está presente en sus obras y en sus personajes, la dialéctica entre apolíneos y dionisiacos, el eterno retorno, la parodia del superhombre, la presencia de un sujeto descentrado por la fatalidad y por la ruina, la voluntad de poder durante la Guerra Civil española, y la preponderancia del estilo sobre el argumento. Se ofrecerán numerosos ejemplos desde su obra regionata y desde su ensayo. In the novelistic and essayistic works of Juan Benet, one can detect numerous intertextualities of the German philosopher Friedrich Nietzsche that have not yet been adequately researched. Among the Nietzschean themes in Benet, the most important are the defence of irrationalism as a way of knowledge that better explains the real, the opposition to closed epistemological systems, the defence of fragmentarism, nihilism, fatalism, the sense of tragedy that is present in his works and in his characters, the dialectic of the Apollonian and the Dionysian, the eternal return, the parody of the Superman, the presence of a subject decentered by fatality and ruin, the will to power during the Spanish Civil War, and the preponderance of style over plot. I will give many examples from Benet’s novels, above all those about Región, and from his essays.

Recently with the increase in advanced age population, the osteoporosis becomes the object of public attention in the field of orthopedics. The surface topography of the bone by scanning electron microscopy (SEM) is one of the most useful means to study the bone metabolism, that is considered to make clear the mechanism of the osteoporosis. Until today many specimen preparation methods for SEM have been reported. They are roughly classified into two; the anorganic preparation and the simple preparation. The former is suitable for observing mineralization, but has the demerit that the real surface of the bone can not be observed and, moreover, the samples prepared by this method are extremely fragile especially in the case of osteoporosis. On the other hand, the latter has the merit that the real information of the bone surface can be obtained, though it is difficult to recognize the functional situation of the bone.

Speech, language, and hearing professionals rely on many individuals to provide information about a client. Management programs, in part, are devised, modified, and evaluated according to responses obtained from the client, family members, educators, and other professional and lay persons who have contact with the client. The speech-language pathologist has the responsibility of obtaining pertinent, complete, unbiased information about clients. This article provides an overview of the essential elements of an interview.

Purpose The aims of this study were to characterize hearing symptoms, habits, and sound pressure levels (SPLs) of personal audio system (PAS) used by young adults; estimate the risk of developing hearing loss and assess whether instructions given to users led to behavioral changes; and propose recommendations for PAS users. Method A cross-sectional study was performed in 50 subjects with normal hearing. Procedures included questionnaire and measurement of PAS SPLs (real ear and manikin) through the users' own headphones and devices while they listened to four songs. After 1 year, 30 subjects answered questions about their usage habits. For the statistical analysis, one-way analysis of variance, Tukey's post hoc test, Lin and Spearman coefficients, the chi-square test, and logistic regression were used. Results Most subjects listened to music every day, usually in noisy environments. Sixty percent of the subjects reported hearing symptoms after using a PAS. Substantial variability in the equivalent music listening level (Leq) was noted ( M = 84.7 dBA; min = 65.1 dBA, max = 97.5 dBA). A significant difference was found only in the 4-kHz band when comparing the real-ear and manikin techniques. Based on the Leq, 38% of the individuals exceeded the maximum daily time allowance. Comparison of the subjects according to the maximum allowed daily exposure time revealed a higher number of hearing complaints from people with greater exposure. After 1 year, 43% of the subjects reduced their usage time, and 70% reduced the volume. A volume not exceeding 80% was recommended, and at this volume, the maximum usage time should be 160 min. Conclusions The habit of listening to music at high intensities on a daily basis seems to cause hearing symptoms, even in individuals with normal hearing. The real-ear and manikin techniques produced similar results. Providing instructions on this topic combined with measuring PAS SPLs may be an appropriate strategy for raising the awareness of people who are at risk.

This article presents some streamlined and intentionally oversimplified ideas about educating future communication disorders professionals to use some of the most basic principles of evidence-based practice. Working from a popular five-step approach, modifications are suggested that may make the ideas more accessible, and therefore more useful, for university faculty, other supervisors, and future professionals in speech-language pathology, audiology, and related fields.
